Cases of 8 500ml Coors for €10 in Tesco this evening, 24 for €30

geordi

Stumbled across some decent deals on Nuts About Wine:

Founders Centennial - €1.50
Foxes Rock - €1.25
Moretti - €1.25

Delivery wasn't the cheapest at €9, but thought the selection at those prices was worth it.

All of the 8 packs of cans online have been showing as "Sorry, this product is currently not available" for days in Tesco.. Coors being one of them

I think when the Perlenbacher has 8 bottles in the pack as part of XXL promo, it's from Germany and will say so on the pack - and it is a lovely pilsner.
If 6 bottles, it's from France, and is ok but nothing special.
(at least, that was the thread consensus last time round)

If you search this thread, you'll see much interest in the XXL version and it usually flies off the shelves

I can't say I've noticed much of a difference, but then you wouldn't when they are very cold, and that's the only way to drink a pilsner IMO.

A lot of people like it but i never got on with the stuff . Has an aftertaste that is unpleasant . The bottles seem to be slightly better

Staropramen, Budejovicky Budvar and Pilsner Urquell.

Staropramen in Dunnes is brewed by Molson Coors in the UK. Can you get the stuff brewed in Prague in Ireland?

I must have got the stuff not brewed in Germany when I got it a few months ago! I wouldn't usually be too fussy on my beers but could barely finish 2 bottles of it

Dunno, I bough them big bottles of it in dunnes one day and I didn’t like it. It seemed a bit sour or something. Not smooth and fresh lager like Heineken, grolsch and super bokk.

That's because as has been pointed out a few times on this thread, the 660 bottles are UK brewed shyte. Disgraceful to have a great beer brand cheapened in that way by a mega brewing conglomerate. :mad:

The 500 bottles in Dunnes are still from Prague - for now. But if people are happy to buy the UK brewed shyte while still paying a premium beer price, then we can expect them to also be replaced with UK brewed shyte.

A super hard brexit would put an end to that nonsense :pac:

Dunnes Beer Thursday14 May Portmarnock


Not much to report. Slabs of Bud and Guinness 32 e less 20% if U have vouchers..25.60 a slab.


Starpromen unpasteurised 5 for 10/8 with voucher. A lot of O'Haras at 5 for 10/8 with voucher. Lomza unfiltered/unpasteurised/export all 4 for 7/5.60 with voucher.

Open gate non alcoholic 6@330 ml for 5/4 with voucher. Starting too early this weather so trying a few N/A. This is ,IMO, the best I have come across. Way ahead of Heineken 00 and , to my taste, slightly better than Erdinger....my usual N/A

12 Tiger for €15 in Tesco I'll be getting that again this weekend. The nicest of the mainstream beers.

I got some in the XXL Deal (8x500ml for €7.49) and on the bottle was:

Produced in Germany. Brewed according to the German purity law. (See attached Pic)

Thanks for that. If I do give it a try again I'll keep an eye out for that labeling

I've had that Perlenbacher before, down the drain it went, a serious accquired taste and I wouldn't drink absolutely anything (except Bud)/

it is pricey enough as its 330ml bottles.

I would be getting budvar before tiger if I was buying at that price.

12 for €15

https://www.tesco.ie/groceries/Product/Details/?id=285226124

12 longnecks is 7.92 regular 500ml bottles. So at €15 it works out at €1.89 for 500ml.

Budvar in tesco is 4x500ml for €10 on special (its an ongoing thing really though)

In supervalu it is 2 for €5,

The best deal usually going is 5 for €10 so €1.89 is a good deal and not advertised as an offer either.

If the government were to impose a, let’s say fixed €1 tax on any alcohol purchase made in shops, whether it’s 1 can or full slab, they will make a nice chunk of cash to pay off this corona bill.
